Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomParking fee of £15 a night was a nasty surprise. Hotel reception greeting could have been friendlier, bathroom radiator was never on - soggy cold towels in morning, generator noise underneath our room (wore earplugs but without would have kept me awake), no spa treatments available two full days we were there
Beautiful old building, nice breakfast, comfy beds, homely feel, lovely gardens, biscuits on arrival a nice touch

United KingdomThe bottom of the spa showers was a little grimey and needed a good clean, the carpet was dirty on the main stairwell of the hotel, room was a little small.
Nice building and nice bar downstairs, I had a drink on the terrace, spa was nice.

United KingdomThe front of house staff in the restaurant in the evenings did not seem to have anyone in charge. Service was very haphazard as a result. One evening we were asked if we would like our mains served before we had finished our starters - to stop it going cold.
Good location near centre of town. Food quality was very good. Parking (paid) adjacent to hotel. Staff were very friendly, but see below.

United KingdomThe Restaurant. It was my birthday so I wanted the chataubriand. It wasn't cooked well, wasn't rested and it was dry and served with frozen chips. Definitely not worth £80!
Rooms was comfy but the decor was questionable. The food in the restaurant was grossly overpriced and not good quality

United KingdomThe only feedback I have was that although the room cleaning was to a reasonably high standard, there were brown marks on the bathroom wall,(not scuff marks) and toothpaste on the shower tiles which had not been cleaned - otherwise the bathroom had been cleaned properly.
Loved the actual building and the era of the main building. Loved the bar area and the fact you could sit outside. The swimming pool facilities were great. Staff were attentive. Nice sized room and comfy bed. Great location in Harrogate.

United KingdomIt was tired in places, the spa changing rooms were dirty, the spa reception was in-interested. You pay extra for a dog but don’t get anything for that, so why the extra charge …? The reception prices for breakfast was confusing so we didn’t bother have it as it wasn’t clear.
Some of the styling, location, the reception cookies.

United KingdomNeglected windows that didn't open to let in fresh air, toilet door that did not latch because lock not aligned, lack of convenient drawer space. Bedside drawer units had crooked legs and overbalanced when laden drawer pulled out. Lack of shelf space in bathroom for personal toiletries - wall space of bath, shower and washbasin areas each used up by two or three small fire extinguisher-sized dispensers of detergents/conditioner that we would not use other than in a dire emergency.
Breakfast and overall appearance. Lovely location and very convenient for the conference centre. Spacious, quiet room and very comfortable bed. Staff were vey attentive, friendly and helpful.
